“Devil May Cry” is keeping the late ’90s/early ’00s throwback train rollin’ with the reveal of its official soundtrack.
In addition to Limp Bizkit‘s “Rollin’,” a remix of Papa Roach‘s “Last Resort,” and the new Evanescence single “Afterlife,” the show will feature “Guerrilla Radio” by Rage Against the Machine, “Butterfly” by Crazy Town, “Ghost” by Gunship, and an as-yet-unspecified Green Day song.
Synthwave duo Power Glove also puts its spin on two Devil May Cry 5 tracks composed by Casey Edwards, “Bury the Light” and “Devil Trigger.”
Based on the Capcom video game franchise, the eight-episode animated series releases tomorrow, April 3, on Netflix.
Sinister forces are at play at the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon hunter for hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.
Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” Akira) voices Dante. Fans of the games will recognize his voice as Nero, Dante’s nephew.
The cast also includes Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween), Hoon Lee (“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”), Chris Coppola (Postal), Kevin Conroy (“Batman: The Animated Series”), Robbie Daymond (“Spider-Man”), and Tony Todd (Candyman).
The series is created by Adi Shankar (“Castlevania,” Dredd), who also serves as showrunner, and produced by South Korean animation studio Studio Mir (“The Legend of Korra,” “X-Men ’97”).
Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
